I love this silly monkey! The oval shape of the muzzle really makes it stand out from similar projects. This little monkey looks like a boy, but it would be very easy to change a few things to make it a girl. Either embroider the mouth with red, or sew on a pair of red lips. You can also add a bow or flower next to the ears (one or both), or tie a ribbon on the tuft of hair. Thanks for finding this!
